Surgery is not bad. I had no pain only discomfort from gas. For me, I've had a harder time getting through the addiction. It's worse than quitting smoking cold turkey BUT I wouldn't trade it and am very happy with the results and my restriction. Good luck!

I was terrified going into it, but my Aunt died after having WLS (back in the 80's) and I didn't tell my family until the night before. However, I knew I was in good hands and not only did my research on the surgery, but also the surgeon. I stayed away from any negative reviews as I didn't want that judgement going in. I had a lap band previous so I knew a little as to what to expect. I was told the surgery was harder than the band, but I didn't think it was. This is not for everyone. It is a lifestyle change and have to be willing to give up an addiction. Just like you wouldn't bring a recovering alcoholic to a bar, you don't bring a recovering food addict to a buffet. It's not an easy fix by any means. You still have to fix what's broken only this gives you the perfect fitting tool to do so. Losing weight will not be the only thing you'll have to fix. It's the easiest, but the hardest is beating the addiction. With the sleeve, while your beating the addiction, you'll be losing weight!

I had my band removed in June and since it had ulcerated I had to wait for my stomach and esophagus to heal. I had done everything I needed to do for the insurance before my band was placed so all I had to do was update my psych eval and consult with the dietitian.

5'3" (if I take a deep breath ;) 190 lbs. surgery is Dec 14' date=' Dr Ponce de leon. And I hate buying pants. Only time I didn't have a problem was when I was 124 lbs last year. ( with lapband). I'm currently wearing borrowed jeans because I refuse to buy any clothes at my current weight. I have a ton of skinny clothes barely a year old. My surgery can't get here soon enough. I don't even have a winter coat and have been going out and freezing... May have to go to thrift store for temp solution lol

Being fat sucks![/quote']

you are exactly like me i ice the band went to 125 it slipped and in two years i went to 198 i have hardly no clothes all my work clothes are even getting old looking and i refuse to buy big clothes. i had my sleeve on the 19th and i can't wait to start fitting back into my full wardrobe of skinny (practically brand new) clothes

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
